Actress Ha Ji-won offered viewers a detailed look at the routines she uses to maintain her appearance and fitness during an appearance on tvN’s “You Quiz on the Block.”
She described her body-management routine as exercise that pushes her muscles hard. “I make my muscles suffer so they cannot go back,” she said, explaining that she holds positions until she feels an electric sensation and focuses on communicating with her muscles to build deeper muscle strength.
I make my muscles suffer so they cannot go back. I hold on until I feel an electric sensation, and when I communicate with my muscles, the deeper muscles grow.
Ha said she checks her face and body after waking up and changes her care routine according to her condition. She may use cold compresses or a gua sha tool for her skin, while stretching helps her assess her body, including her back and areas where cellulite may have accumulated.
She also said she weighs herself every day and varies her exercise based on how she feels. According to Ha, elasticity depends on both relaxation and contraction, while daily work and looking at a phone can leave the body tense. She therefore relies heavily on massages to help it relax and said she has consumed healthful foods, including olive oil, for more than 10 years.
It is important to know your own condition well, whether it is your body or your skin.
